The Claim
Hyperinsulinemia (elevated insulin levels) inhibits lipolysis (the breakdown of stored fats) and promotes de novo lipogenesis (the creation of new fats), thereby directing excess glucose toward triglyceride storage in adipose tissue.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
When someone has too much insulin in their blood, it stops the body from burning stored fat and instead makes the body turn extra sugar into new fat, which gets stored in fat tissue.

Hyperinsulinemia inhibits lipolysis and promotes de novo lipogenesis, directing excess glucose toward triglyceride storage in adipose tissue.
What the research says
1 studyThe study found that insulin's ability to stop fat breakdown (lipolysis) is actually stronger in obese people with high insulin levels. This supports the claim that high insulin blocks fat breakdown and helps store energy as fat in adipose tissue.
